O yea by the way I Don't know how you are doing it but worked really well for me was clamping my 3/16 by 6 inch sheets of flat to the rail and then just running a torch along the top of frame rail to cut it to size perfectly. Then hit it once with a grinder to clean all slag off and then put a little bevel on the plate and the frame rail and welds go on BEAUTIFUL! If you use your head which i am sure you are

on the straight sections of frame you only have to cut one side of the plate. I think total weight added was no more than about 30 or so pounds.
